Couples
Therapy
I work with a wide range of issues couples may experience such as growing apart, communication difficulties, arguing, resentment, financial disagreements, loss of trust, and infidelity.
Part of my approach is helping each part of the couple recognize the parts of themselves that might be unchangeable. I call these our "core" characteristics. These are traits that may be undesirable, but most likely aren't going to change. We all have traits that can be frustrating in our relationships and we have to work on managing them.
I like to remind couples that the process of working on their relationship in therapy is different than working on goals in individual therapy. In couples therapy, it might be harder to say the things we need to say to our significant other, but my role as the therapist is to intervene when things might become too intense and to keep you focused on the conversation in the moment.
